Synopsis for "Magneto: Testament (Part 2)"
Max and his father, Jakob travel to Berlin to seek the help of his father’s old war buddy, Major Scharf in getting back his father’s government job. The 1936 Olympic Games are in full swing and Nazi Germany has tempered its outward anti-Semitism as a result. Scharf refuses to see Jakob. He is subsequently beaten by a Nazi soldier for troubling the major as Max watches. Meanwhile, Magda and her family have been moved to a detention camp. Two years later, times are much harder and Max is scouring the streets for money. This leads to a fight with his old classmates. Violence against Jews is on the rise and the family is divided on how to respond. Max fought back, which his father believes will only lead to further harm and persecution. Things come to a head on the evening of the Kristallnacht, as Nazis and German citizens alike attack Jewish homes, businesses and places of worship. The Eisenhardts flee their home at Max’s insistence and avoid the violence but watch in helpless horror as their neighbors are brutalized. The family flees Germany and arrives in Poland where they hope they can safely hide from the Nazis. However, the day of their arrival coincides with Germany’s fateful invasion of Poland.
